Howard Davies in Conversation with Lord Goldsmith QC

Law Department Officers of the Law lecture series


The separation of powers idea is at the heart of all legal democracies. Yet within those democracies there will often be positions of high office which require their holders to perform functions which are both legal and political. In this series of events senior figures who hold or have held positions of this type talk about their lives in the law, the nature of their office, the institutions which they serve, their roles and responsibilities within those institutions, the role of lawyers in government and their understanding of the relationship between law and politics.

Howard Davies is director of LSE. Lord Goldsmith QC is head of the European litigation practice, Debevoise & Plimpton, and was attorney general for England and Wales (2001-2007).
